Our weeks are busy and the weekends are even busier, but fall weather is starting to creep into Texas and we're enjoying every opportunity to get outside and play.
Our Houston Astros made it to the playoffs and we decked out in our Astros gear to cheer them on last week, but they lost their last game to the Royals and we've tucked away our jerseys til April.
Astros fans!
We love cooking at our house. Henry and I made applesauce on Friday with Paula Red apples that I picked up at Central Market. I left the peels on and they turned the applesauce a lovely pink.
Last week, Will had to write about a traditional food in his family and he chose Norwegian krumkake. Krumkake is like a waffle cone filled with whipped cream and we enjoy it every Christmas with my folks.
Last weekend was our first Cub Scout campout of the year. We camped at Stephen F. Austin State Park, which is one of my favorite state parks ever. The weather was perfect for October.
Cubmaster Gene officially kicked off the campout.
Will worked on whittling
and we played some tug-of-war.
We also visited San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site on International Archaeology Day, where we had a program about archaeology at the site.
We sorted artifacts in the teaching collection, watched a video, and toured the grounds.
Our pack
That night, Will and his den cooked us dinner as part of the Cast Iron Chef Adventure. They made pasta with meat sauce, green salad with chopped veggies, bread and apple cobbler. It was quite good and the boys worked really hard on the meal.
Henry's den went for a hike Sunday morning in the cool weather. We walked 1.7 miles and had so much fun exploring together. Scouts has been and continues to be a wonderful experience for our whole family. We've all made tremendous friends and the boys learn so many skills.
